Sprite doesn't flip correctly.

I have this code:

void Update () {
	Vector3 mousePos = new Vector3(Input.mousePosition.x, Input.mousePosition.y, 0);

	Vector3 lookPos = Camera.main.ScreenToWorldPoint(mousePos);
	lookPos = lookPos - transform.position;
		
	float angle = Mathf.Atan2(lookPos.y, lookPos.x) * Mathf.Rad2Deg;

	if (angle < 270 && angle > 90)
		transform.localScale = new Vector3(0.6f, -0.6f, 0f);
	else
		transform.localScale = new Vector3(0.6f, 0.6f, 0f);

	transform.rotation = Quaternion.AngleAxis(angle, Vector3.forward);
}

It should flip the sprite in the “y” axis if the angle is in between 90 and 270, but it just seems to be checking if the angle is in between 90 and 180, what could be happening?

Ok based on the picture you’re flipping the wrong piece of the vector. Try this:

if (angle < 270 && angle > 90)
    transform.localScale = new Vector3(-0.6f, 0.6f, 0f);
else
    transform.localScale = new Vector3(0.6f, 0.6f, 0f);

The “rotations” of sprites aren’t the same as rotations around an axis.
